Speed camera's?

Question

Do speed camera's and road work camera's work if they don't flash or appear to change?

Answer 1

i would guess that those kinds of cameras would be inconspicuous kinda, because its probably just a snapshot out of a stream of video. or maybe u got lucky and it didnt catch u somehow.

Answer 2

The box on top of the lights was a without a doubt a sensor. I drive in excess of 75,000 miles a year in UK and never seen tempory traffic lights with a red light camera. Red light camera's are on the same sized post as speed camera's but are grey not yellow the posts are always across the junction the lights are at or behind you if you were sitting at the lights. NEVER on top of a set of lights. You can sleep tight tonight for sure.

Answer 3

Speed camera's should be taken as always working, never as non working unless they are covered up.

Answer 4

Smallish box directly on top of the light set? Actually, I think you'll find it is a traffic sensor, supposed to tweak the timing of the lights according to the traffic flow. I think you'll be okay.

Short-term temporary lights tend not to have any speed cameras specifically related to them.  Same applies to red-light cameras. Longer-term roadworks sometimes use "average speed" cameras when there is a speed restriction connected with the works, and you won't notice them!

Answer 5

Just wait and check your mail then you will find out if it got you.

Answer 6

From what I read the older ones use film and flash when they fire The newer ones are digital and don't.

Answer 7

You don't need to worry, the boxes on top of temporary lights are just sensors that can tell when there is traffic approaching the light so as it can set it's change pattern appropriately.

Answer 8

Don't worry. They are not speed camera's. It's a senser which is used to control how much traffic the lights let through. So you wont be getting a fine. Yes they need to flash.

But, dont make a habbit of driving through on red. Some traffic lights do have cameras, they are yellow boxes positioned near the traffic lights.

Hope this helps.

Answer 9

yes.if you notice when you go past the average speed ones theres two discs that glow with infra red light.if there glowing there on.
